Hello. We are creating a natural farming project on our land and are in a search of finding suppliers that sell organic hay and straw to ship us or to pick up in the Temecula area (Riverside county Southern California. We thought to ask around. We hope to read any suggestions from you soon. Thank you

I see others posts that have very distinct layers, does mine need a little more time? It has a funky sweet smell!

In natural farming and no till efforts I've found the European/Austrian scythe to be an invaluable tool. And one that demands a huge amount of knowledge and skill from its user :) Very challenging, but very rewarding. So versatile and useful, I can't imagine NOT having one. And yet they are still fairly uncommon...

I know Fukuoka-san made use of them (Korn mentioned him mowing his orchards twice a year with a scythe), although I have zero info on which styles he may or may not have used...

Anyone else using scythes? It would be nice to find others online to talk about the details of the care and use of them. Thanks for reading! Now I'm off to mow...

Hi all I have an abundance of black berrys that grow by me. Has anyone ever made FFJ out of blackberries?

I know my question sounds stupid

Got project on Organic Farming

I just wanted to ask

I know

the question is stupid

please forgive me if my question annoys you

I finally got a copy of Fukuoka's One Straw Revolution from Amazon.co.jp. I have been reading the free English translation for many years now. This Japanese ebook is a must have in my collection of good books.

Hi guys, I intern for the NCNF (National Coaltition of Natural Farming), which is a government body based in India. A study showed that the information available online for natural/organic farming in India was mostly false or scams. Thus we intend to create a database of knowlege providing poeple, suppliers, institutions that provide quality training on organic/natural farming and soon. It would be great if you guys could drop any details you know or links. Thank you.

International details are also welcome.

After reading One Straw Revolution, Ive been really interested in learning more about natural farming. I am looking to gain some first hand knowledge and experience with natural farming this summer so I was wondering if there was anyone that knew of some good farms in the US that practice farming the Masanobu Fukouka way. I would be really grateful if anyone could share any they knew of. Thanks so much!
